    Summary of Case 94/2026 The court acquitted respondent Melabhai Balubhai Rathod of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(a)(a), finding insufficient evidence to prove the alleged illegal sale of domestic liquor. The prosecution failed to establish credible corroborating testimony from the panchas (witnesses), as they could not substantiate details of the alleged offense and the seized sample's authenticity remained unverified through proper laboratory testing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
